Obser ver, of Raleigh, upon the illiteracy of North Carolina and its remedies, is a thoughtful and considered one, and should be studied by every pat-, riot in the State. The sun and the March winds have come to lift our corporation rouncilmcn out of the mud. They ourdit to thank their stars, for they were leaving us all covered with mud and the caty orders were biucjc to cents in the dollar, under the mud. j In a recent trial for murder in Tarboro, Don Gilliam, a former citi zen' of this town, delivered a speech for the defence which is highly com mended by the Tarboro Press, for its brilliancy I in eloquence, and effec tiveness in argument and legal learn ing. I We received a letter this week from Baily of "Mecklenburg,1 now W. B. Bady, of Houston, lexas, where he edits the "Houston Her ald" He is a native of Pasquotank county, son of Judge J. L. Bailey, dee'd." "We greatly appreciate his kindness and conphments." When our Representative- Pool and Senator "Whedbee return from their arduous labors in Raleicrh, they ought to be tendered a banquet of cold victnals bv the citizens oi the town for their successful efforts in amending the charter of this, town : . ... . and for increasing its taxation. Cnnt. D, U. Packard left last week' with the steam Yacht "Sanible" for Havre de Grace, Maryland to meet Mr. C. A. Flint, the 'Rubber Trust magnate and owner of the Yacht. Capt. Packard, who has spent three winters in our harbor, is a great favorite hero and the regrets of manv friends follow him. i The Mde Post Bulletins of the Hathway Bros, our reliable jewellers, are signals of enterprise to our peo ple in the country - invitations to trade, and pledges of fairness in business, j uprightness in character and courtesy in deportment. We take real pleasure in indorsing tuem from personal knowledge. J Dads ouht to kick them Our selves. The Legislature would have uiven them a dollar increase of Spe- cial tax, lust as soon as 25 cents or 10 cents, i 'lhere are plenty oi hun gry Pubs bn our streets "'pressing bricks who could have had a fat and easy place if the Dads had only asked for enough tax to give them all places.; Mr. R. J. Mitchell, a promiment dry goods merchant of this town, has rented a store in morion:, va., on "Main I street, has deposited $1 000 in Bank in that city, as se curity for rent, and will open his business there on the 1st of July. Meanwhile he will close out his stock at nominal prices, at cost, or below cost. Mr. George Durant Reed, former ly of this city, but recently of Balti more, died at the Home for Con sumptives, Denver Colorado, Mon day 22nd February, age 21 years. Though in a stranee land kind hands and lovincr hearts prepared him for burial, and covered his grave with roses and calla hhes. His body wasjnterred in Fairmount Cemetery, Denver, 1! It seems that the Legislature of North Carolina thought fat to give our proditral city dads "More mort to run the town on tne nepuuucan nlan. The Dads cot skeered or the Solons of the Legislature would have allowed them as much as they wanted to tax our people, for the nnmnsfl of 11 heaver SDecial tax, a bicirer salary to the Mayor, a big salary to the chairman of the coun- cil and a special boot black and bot tie wasuer. Bcdy Found. Tho body ,of Captain Richard Leigh Sawyer, who . was drowned from the : barge "McKeever on Tues day, Feb. 2d, was discovered by a steam tug on Saturday, Feb. 27th, near Davis Bay on Pasquotank nj-er, and was brought to this town on Sunday by Luther Lassiter xand John Hettrick, two young friends of the deceased. The body was much decayed when found, but had not been disturbed by fish. It was in terred in the Episcopal cemetery on Sunday evening. Rev. J. C. Hall, of the Methodist church, officiating. The body of the deceased was in an erect position in the water when found, being kept in that position by a heavy pair of gum boots which he had on, and the watch on his per son pointed to half past one o'clock. Capt. Sawyer was a reat favorite with those who knew him in this town, and his death was much lamented He was a son of , John Sawyer, of Nixon ton. and grandson of the late Mark Sawyer, of Pasquo tank county, both of whom were in fluential and popular men, and dis tinguished for intelligence and high character. All Hail ! j Opera House ! i 1 An Opera House is in sight. It has been long wanted, much talked of and much written about, and all the time Jack ha3 been a dull boy, snd a dull boy being the father of a dulL slothful and lethargic man, the population have! come and gone and left the town no better and a little worse, one generation following the other in the same dog trot way, and having no vent for their natura vi tality except an bccasional dog fight, an old fashion coon hunt, and rarely the luxury of a jgouging street fisti cuff. 1 A better day is dawning. Charlie Overman, a lucky man, an enterpris ing citizen, who ha never known defeat in his business undertakings, who thinks that man was not born io grunt and growl from his cradle to his grave, who believes in the gospel of hilarity and fun, has deter mined to give our people an oppor tunity to laugh and grow fat, by building a new, commodious and modern Opera House over his furni ture store on the corner of Poindex ter and "Matthews streets. Every body says it is the very place for an Opera House in Betsy Town. A more central place could not have been selected, a more convenient place or a more accessible place. Charlie Overman is not a man who does things by halves, or in a dog trot fashion. He is a hummer from the word "go" and he' is at work on his Opera House now, and before other men are done talking about it he will have an Opera troupe of es tablished reputation making our staid peorde split their sides over some new jakes and funny ftories, or weeping like children over some sad recital of human suffering. So let us all bless Charley O. and stop whining, .'and take things as they come along, and when we are in a pining mood about the turn politics have taken, or about the in competency an short comings of our City Fathers, or about the finan ces of the town! or about the muddy streets or the weather, or the hard times, just gcj some evening .to Charlie Overman's Opera House and laugh it all over," and next morning we'll all feel better thankee. And now, what is : every mans auiy This : Give the new Opera House a helping hand, helping -word and patronage. Man is the only laugh ing animal created bv the Almighty, o j " ' and he who promotes hilarity and consequent happiness is a puouc benefactor and a cb-laborer with God.- : ! : Shakesperian. r It is an exhibition of great vanity to -question any opinion of Shake- spear, and ite might involve the death of Dr. Hume, of the Uniyer sity, and might subject us'to the crime of infidelity to friendship. But high authority proclaims that truth should prevail though the heavens fall. .Therefore we are em boldened to say that the grand old man, who held horses at the theatre and r stole deer out of Sir John's park, was in error when he put the school boy in one of his "seven stages" and represented him as a onnil "reerinr unwillinerlv to u - o school." If Shakespeare's boy na ture was the same as Sheep's and Hinton's boy nature, then our friend of Avon was egregiously in error, for the bojs and girls we pass every day en route to school are the ' hap piest specimens of humanity that we meet. To our. mind their gait to school is suggestive rather of a fawn than-a snail, and their walk approxi mates a skip rather than a creep. It is an inspiration of happiness to us to look at their little pedals as they play back and forth under them like the paddles of a steam tug. Happy children I happy girls! happy boys 1 happy in your homes, happy in your lives, happy in the period of tho world in which your lot has been cast, in the period when the burch, and the, ruler, and the paddle, and the fool's cap, and the dunce block, and the peas in shoes, and Solomon's advice are unknown, and when school session opens life is one long summer day of happiness. are a source of comfort.
